I can confirm that <sigsegv.h> on cygwin has this unfortunate
limitation.  While libsigsegv may need to use <windows.h> inside of its
own .c files for the implementation, I think that it is a bug that the
mere use of its public header is dragging in a header that is better off
avoided in typical cygwin programs.  I'll see if I can help work up a
libsigsegv patch.

Meanwhile, your patch for dfa.h looks reasonable to me.
